Where it all started: I was born and raised in Dunkirk NY. That's where I started working in radio in high school.
To be honest, I actually had a radio station in my attic at home, but it consisted of a record player, an old reel to reel tape machine and a plastic microphone I found in our basement. So I guess that doesn't count. I worked at WDOE in Dunkirk, and WBUZ in Fredonia (before the FCC yanked their license). I am a SUNY Alfred grad, and a SUNY Fredonia grad. I was also fortunate enough to work at WPHD-FM in Buffalo. I worked in beautiful Punta Gorda, Florida for a year before returning back home to work in Jamestown. I've done just about every shift in this town, broadcast PBP sports, and hosted a news/talk show. Now that I think about it, I've done the morning show on SE-93, WKSN, WHUG, and 103.1 The Fox. Wow! This guy just can't hold a job!
Where I am now: I love waking everyone up with the "My County Morning Show" on WHUG.
My other job: I have my own business, Dan Warren's Entertainment Express. I provide music for parties, weddings, school dances and such. I also have a complete karaoke set-up which I take out quite frequently. Maybe I'll see you out and about some time, or if you're in need of a disc jockey for an event, give me a holler!
Why I'm still in this area: People ask this a lot. It comes down to this...for all that's wrong with this area, it's still a great place to raise a family! The quality of life is great, the people are wonderful, and I've been treated well in the many years I've been here. If I have to work a bunch of jobs to support my family (and my nasty eating habit!) so be it. To me it's worth it.
Thanks!
